If you have to apply hot compress, I would suggest you to do it locally, DO NOT mess up(massage/rub) with your top eyelid during or after hot compress, which is how I got my cornea changed. Now I have to decide to go for either RGP, laser surgery or leave it as is. To make a homemade dry warm compress for the eyes, grab a clean sock and some uncooked rice and do the following: Wash your hands with soap and water Fill the clean sock halfway with the uncooked rice and tie a knot on the top Microwave the sock for about 30 seconds. The heat and massage had deformed my corneal shape spherically and led to irregular astigmatism. Later on, that was confirmed by another ophthalmologist in the same clinic. Until later September, I realized that my vision problem was caused by the hot compress and massage after I went through all my medical records, analyzed my cornea topography and googled related research papers. During the following up session, the ophthalmologist didn't know what caused the shadow and even sent me for a ocular CT scan. However, the hot compress was continued, but with more care, until I started noticing shadow in my left eye. I followed that approach at home for few weeks, then I started noticing shadow for my right eye that had worst problem at that time. ![]() The nurse who applied the hot compress asked me push the mask against my eye and massage during the session. When I saw the ophthalmologist last May, he suggested to use Bruder mask to melt down thick oils for my MGD problem and he applied one hot compress during my visit session. I had the same thought of hot compress should be safe as it's widely being adopted by doctors. ![]()
